In slacko 5.6 use this motion compiled from git:

If you need libv4l or v4lutils use that in this post:

In slacko 5.7 use:

I installed it in Precise (5.7.1 I think). I couldn't find it in the Menu, but when I entered "motion" in a console I got this error message: Any idea where I can find the missing library?

In precise you don't need this package: search "motion" in PPM and you'll be able to install motion from ubuntu's repositories. It's a litlle different but it works and opens recordings in browser. My package works in slacko 5.6 NON-PAE (perhaps, I think, in PAE version, too) . In slacko 5.6 I did not find "motion" in repositories. Motion for slacko 5.5 previously posted needed to be updated for changed basic libraries in slacko 5.6 (libavformat.so's version...). I did not add a desktop file because it usually is a "hidden" package of your system which you run in console.

Thanks!

Kinda the same deal, this is used for mouse control by following the direction of the captured movement, search for mousecam for puppylinux spins that have this. its cool your can track motion and the direction its going.

Newly compiled for slacko 5.7:

You can remotely and privately watch your motion's recording by a browser. Create an account to copy:

https://www.copy.com/home/

Download copyagent from:

https://www.copy.com/install

Click on the tgz compressed file and choose to open with xarchive. Extract all where you want. Surf to /path-to/copy/x86 and click CopyAgent. Follow the procedure. It installs /root/Copy dir to syncronize to your account. You can choose not to syncronize what you already have in your account if you already have it. Create a relative link in /root/Copy dir to /usr/local/apache2. Now launch motion in console. If you login to your copy account by the browser of another device you'll remotely see the recording.

Wow - well done watchdog. This is awesome. Testing on Slacko 5.6 works great.
I haven't done the "copy" thing with remote copying yet, but just the first testing of the image saving into /root. Works well - found my webcam with no difficulty. What method do use to record to a different directory?

Open by geany /usr/local/etc/motion.conf and change the following line:
